My stamina mode is always on but appears not to work at all. I keep getting notifications on both wifi and LTE from all apps that can produce them (not only whitelisted), and I get them immediately even when the "queue background data" is on.
I tend to be forgiving because battery life is fantastic. With my normal use I usually don't go under 60% at the end of the day. The phone uses maybe 0.5% / h when idle.
Indeed, stamina mode does prolong the battery. I got 2days 18hours till10% on stamina mode without any wifi, but on 3G.
Always on with around 8 apps on the white list. Get 2 days of normal day to day use. A little less if on heavy usage

Always on, but as someone stated, i dont see it working. Dont get me wrong, battery life is amazing, just that my background data seems to be working same way doesnt matter stamina on or off.. for example i have torrent app, its not on whitelist, still downloads just fine after phone goes to sleep.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you want Stamina mode to always be on you have to change the setting:
Settings > Power management > STAMINA mode > Activation
to 100%
I did some tests because I was confused after reading the manual, and it appears to me that just toggling STAMINA mode to "on" does not turn it on permanently. It still waits for the battery level to drop to the activation threshold you set.
I personally set mine to 20% because I don't want STAMINA mode on all the time.
Let us know if you know more about this or experiment more and get some results. The manual is really not very clear on STAMINA mode.

Good observation, I haven't use the stamina mode since it came out of the box. How was the battery life when Stamina mode is on?

It seemed very good, maybe half the drain of regular mode, but I have limited experience because the Z2 battery is so good I rarely go below 20% :victory:
Hey guys, yesterday I just got my third Z2 due to faults with the others and I simply don't understand what is wrong with this phone! My estimated time with stamina mode is down to 1 day and a few hours again down from 6 days yesterday night! Is it the way I am charging it or is it just buggy software? I don't have any apps I don't need on my phone and even tap to wake is off. The battery works normally I guess although it is draining a bit fast (7% in 30 minutes while using it) but I don't understand what could be causing stamina mode to play up!
Is there a work around for the notification lights not working as normal in stamina mode. Its the only thing that stops me using it daily.

Yes, you need to install Xposed Framework and load the Xperia Stamina LED module. You'll need to be rooted first however.

Turn off 3G, turn on only when needed
Settings -> Location -> Untick ''Wireless Networks and GPS Satelites''
Settings ->Accounts -> Untick Background data (Unless you want to use market)
Settings -> Wirelless -> Advanced -> Wifi sleep policy -> Never
Use phone on 2G, unless using internet (then switch to 3G mode)
Data traffic always OFF (Use only when needed)
Backlight low or Auto Brightness (And allow light to decrease)
Turn off wireless, basically everything turned off with the power control widget, turn on when necessary
Install task manager and set auto-kill mode to crazy on switch off screen mode (Put apps that always run in ignore list e.g. Launcher, Messaging. Basically the necessities)
Install SetCPU (After rooting your phone) - Min CPU 122mhz, Max CPU ~700mhz - 'On demand' profile
SetCpu - Profiles -> Screen Off -> Min 122mhz, Max 122mhz, Performance mode
Upgrade to Froyo 2.2 - Enable JIT (Saves battery on 2.2+)
Switch to a Cyanogenmod Rom
Enable undervolting (Only for CyanogenMOD roms)
Use RenderFX widget (CyanogenMOD, best to use low red, best to use when you are heading out)
Cyanogenmod - Spare Parts -> End Button Behaviour -> Go to sleep
LAST, but NOT LEAST, if you notice no significant increase in battery life, then your battery is no calibrated right! So go to market, download 'Battery Calibration', and charge your phone to 100%. Next, if its abbout 4000v - 4200v, your phone is correctly calibrated!
If its not 4000 -4200, press the ''calibrate'' button, and let your phone die out, then fully charge it (while its still powered off). Wait till light is green, TURN ON.
After boot, battery will not be 100% yet, reboot once more, charge to 100% (while phone is on), and check your new calibrated battery! It should now be 4000 to 4200v
I know there might be programs and applications to increase your battery life, but I dont have any experience with these, so feel free to post your experiences! Some examples may include juicedefender, etc
Anyone wants to add to this list, feel free =)

No task managers. The phone manages its RAM well and the battery will last longer. For normal uses upto 1.5 days and for heavy users 1 day.

and here I heard installing juicedefender does more damage than good too.. what to believe? Everything is based on peoples hearsay and no evidence..
On my girl friends X10 mini I changed from ADW launcher to Helixlauncher and changed the brightness to auto. That made a HUGE difference.
Was on vacation and turned off 3G because I was not gonna use any expenisve data. That alone boosted my batterylife about 1 days worth.

people can do much to boost battery time, like turn off 3g, brightness control, turn off gps and so on, that all helps the battery
I have switched of almost everything and still get about 1 day of battery with about 2-3Hrs of music and a few calls and videos.
is it ok?
I get over 48 hours and I use the wifi a lot and do about 30mins of calls a day.
My tips:
* turn background data off and manually update ur emails when u want - this is the best tip I put it on my blog too
* manually enable network data when u need it
* use the top button to go on standby as soon as you are done using the phone
* keep gps, 3g and wifi off unless u want to use it
Sent from my U20i using XDA App
I have background data off.
No emailing whatsoever till now....
Almost 75% of the time in standby
Gps 3G wifi bluetooth are off.
Yet with stock launcer i get 24Hrs
Helix 30Hrs..
Why?
Its been two weeks(or 3) since i bought the phone...
Please reply.
BTW when did you buy the phone?
^^Ok.
I have come to know the problem.
Running any apps in background like Battery Indicator or task manager brings down the battery so much(the latter not much though)..
Because daily i used to get the above with battery indicator pro on.
But after uninstalling it i got about double that battery life..
So people better don't run them all the time.
task manager can be used sometimes about once every 2 hrs o so.
This increased my battery life so much on stock launcher
Just got the pro today. Will be ditching my X2 depending on the performance of this one after a week. So far, I love the mini pro for the fact that I can now hear my incoming messages and calls!
A couple of questions though:
1) Is there a way to wake up the screen when an SMS arrives?
2) Custom ringtone per contact?
3) Is there a way to disable screen lock when the phone goes to sleep by itself (not pressing the power button) ?
4) Is there a way to unlock the screen without the need to press the left button, I was hoping to go directly to the pattern unlock after i turn on the phone
Still getting used to the keyboard lay-out as I've been using X2 for almost 6 months.

I use Chomp SMS app and this allows the screen to wake-up, I think Handcent SMS does too. I never used the stock SMS app so not sure if there is a way to do it with that.

Not sure if this answers your question, I just press the Menu button twice to unlock the phone, never used the power button to wake it up funnily enough, only used the power button go in to sleep mode. When I press Menu button it wakes up to the pattern unlock.

Nice, i'll try to look for those apps. I did try the menu button and it worked. At least this relieves stress on the power button since I won't be using it to wake-up the phone anymore.
How's about not locking the phone when it goes to sleep? Unless I press the power button?
After a day with it, battery is now @ 30%+. Hope it improves or SE comes out with a high capacity.
Hi, where is the disable 3G button?
I can't seem to find it. I found wifi on and off.
and I unchecked location with gps.
thanks
Helix launcher is the best thing I installed to my mini pro. Batt life is now 3-4 days regular use and 5 days if i don't play games. Games are draining the batt quickly.
I'm totally getting rid of my X2.
3 to 4 days? Lol how can that be possible.. Did you use 3g?

I can prove it, there's a display in the phone where it says # of hours unplugged. If it's not working for you, doesn't mean it shouldn't for others as well. If you barely make 2 days, then that's what we should be LOLing about.
My setting is as follows:
- 2g only
- 1 to 2 hours of wifi and bluetooth per day
- 1 to 2 hours of games (love the games) per day
- tried GPS for 1 hour using mapdroyd
- a couple of calls and text messages per day
- tried watching a movie (AVI) for an hour using yxflash
- tried the media, played MP3s for an hour
- tried meebo for an hour
- I got my alarms ON always
- notifications ON always
- custom led lights for new SMS (using ringo pro) always
- max volume for the entire day
- medium volume at night
- data connection off
- background data off
- screen brightness to zero but the sensor is still working (weird), the screens still adjusts to the surrounding
This is after installing helix. Before helix, I got a max of 1 and a half days only.

Screen. As always. I think the battery drain comes with the performance boost?
Stock and locked xGO beans.
What about WiFi idling in the background or any app on the top 10 list? =)
I know my phone drains battery fast as hell if Wifi is turned on, way more on JB than ICS.

ICS was very kind on battery. I would have wifi on the whole night and still would have less than 5% deduction when I woke up.
Whatever drain JB has is something else. Then again, ICS isn't as buttery as this.
Stock and locked xGO beans.
The longest I have been running with my battery after official JB update was 2 and 1/2 days.
I only used stamina mode to save power. It's pretty cool really.
I just disabled and force stop some apps that I do not use.
It helps a lot..
Same with my ICS.

I've disabled almost everything that can be disabled. Would be great if I could root this thing easily so I could get greenify and cpu sleeper installed.
Stamina mode kind of works (no notification led) but it was doing great on ICS even without any stamina mode turned on.

More importantly, were you able to set your screen brightness to it's minimum, or at least 1-2 stops from minimum will do.
In my experience, screen brightness does a lot of battery consumption.

As far as I've noticed X-reality turns off when the device enter low power or power saving mode but doesn't turn back on when the phone is charged again. So your phone may be entering power saving mode and switching off X-reality every night! :good:
More or less. To avoid such a problem navigate to your low battery mode options and uncheck Turn off XReality when battery is on low level. Sorry for not so accurate names of options, Im using my mother tongue language on phone, but I hope you will found it

I don't know particularly about extended standby mode, but if you greenify an app and subsequently highlight it, you get an icon with a play symbol on top of the screen. Tapping it will run the app. After that you can highlight it again and then degreenify it.
So greenify extended standby mode again and try.
I already tried that.... When i click on the play icon it tells that the app has no launcher entry

I have the exynos unlocked s9 Plus model. I never experienced horrible battery life (my usual SOT was about 4+ hours) but I could never get the fantastic SOT of the snapdragon models. Best SOT I had seen was around 6 hours after applying dark themes, etc.
I tried a little thing two days ago, and at least for me, it seems to work.
I let the battery drain down to 1% or 2%. I shut down the phone, and rebooted to recovery mode (holding power, bixby and up buttons), and I deleted the cache partition. After deleting the partition and selecting reboot, I immediately plugged the phone on the charger (fast charge was selected).
I let the phone get to 100% (without messing with it).
My settings are:
AOD off.
Android system background operation set to OFF.
Disable network data when wifi is on (from developer options settings).
Connected to 2,4GHZ wifi (not 5ghz).
The above are the main changes I have set to save battery. (I had these settings also before I did the above trick).
All the rest settings are normal. Normal white theme, synchronization is ON, GPS accuracy is set to high etc. I use FB, G+, Messenger, Youtube a lot.
I don't know why and how, but the battery life seems to have boosted a lot. And this is due to the standby time which now is extremely minimal.
I managed to get 8 hours of SOT(!) which I have never seen before in all the the months I own the phone. Not even near that SOT.
I am not saying that this is the solution to all the exynos battery problems. I just thought I should post this so you can try it.
I really hope that it helps you too.

With the latest update (BRE), there's no need to disable Android System background activity, because is not draining battery anymore.
I did many tests every update, and only BRE fixed the drain from it. Still, it seems that disabling the option is working for some people, is about trying.

It says something like "Keep network data on even if wifi is on" but you should disable that option.
Oh, that one , it's already turned off for a long time, battery life still sucks
How can you guys live without 5G WiFi?
I did a reset of the phone and installed without restoring a backup of apps.
At least standby time increased drastically.
I still must check the SOT, see if that one increase too
Cool! I'll give it a shot!
Does running on 2.4Ghz really improve the battery life?

I have the exynos unlocked s9 Plus model. I never experienced horrible battery life (my usual SOT was about 4+ hours) but I could never get the fantastic SOT of the snapdragon models. Best SOT I had seen was around 6 hours after applying dark themes, etc.
I tried a little thing two days ago, and at least for me, it seems to work.
I let the battery drain down to 1% or 2%. I shut down the phone, and rebooted to recovery mode (holding power, bixby and up buttons), and I deleted the cache partition. After deleting the partition and selecting reboot, I immediately plugged the phone on the charger (fast charge was selected).
I let the phone get to 100% (without messing with it).
My settings are:
AOD off.
Android system background operation set to OFF.
Disable network data when wifi is on (from developer options settings).
Connected to 2,4GHZ wifi (not 5ghz).
The above are the main changes I have set to save battery. (I had these settings also before I did the above trick).
All the rest settings are normal. Normal white theme, synchronization is ON, GPS accuracy is set to high etc. I use FB, G+, Messenger, Youtube a lot.
I don't know why and how, but the battery life seems to have boosted a lot. And this is due to the standby time which now is extremely minimal.
I managed to get 8 hours of SOT(!) which I have never seen before in all the the months I own the phone. Not even near that SOT.
I am not saying that this is the solution to all the exynos battery problems. I just thought I should post this so you can try it.
I really hope that it helps you too.

Hey, (Γεια σου μεγαλε!)
Ι also have a s9+ unlocked.
I'm on the november security patch and battery life is pretty mediocre.
I get high standby battery drain, probably form android system.
I have never achieved sot of more than 5 hours and 10 minutes maybe!
Can you share your experience with this update?
Have you tried this trick on the latest security patch?
